Reviews"Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them--there is no third."--T.S. Eliot "Ciardi has given us...a credible, passionate persona of the poet, stripped of the customary gauds of rhetoric and false decoration, strong and noble in utterance."--Dudley Fitts "A sensitive and perceptive translation...a spectacular achievement."--Archibald MacLeish "I think [Ciardi's] version of Dante will be in many respects the best we have seen."--John Crowe Ransom, "Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them--there is no third."--T.S. Eliot "Ciardi has given us...a credible, passionate persona of the poet, stripped of the customary gauds of rhetoric and false decoration, strong and noble in utterance."--Dudley Fitts "A sensitive and perceptive translation...a spectacular achievement."--Archibald MacLeish "I think [Ciardi's] version of Dante will be in many respects the best we have seen."--John Crowe Ransom, "The English Dante of choice." Hugh Kenner "Exactly what we have waited for these years, a Dante with clarity, eloquence, terror, and profoundly moving depths." Robert Fagles, Princeton University "A marvel of fidelity to the original, of sobriety, and truly, of inspired poetry." Henri Peyre, Yale University

SynopsisThe authoritative translations of The Inferno , The Purgatorio , and The Paradiso --together in one volume. Belonging in the immortal company of the great works of literature, Dante Alighieri's poetic masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, is a moving human drama, an unforgettable visionary journey through the infinite torment of Hell, up the arduous slopes of Purgatory, and on to the glorious realm of Paradise--the sphere of universal harmony and eternal salvation. Now, for the first time, John Ciardi's brilliant and authoritative translations of Dante's three soaring canticles-- The Inferno, The Purgatorio, and The Paradiso-- have been gathered together in a single volume. Crystallizing the power and beauty inherent in the great poet's immortal conception of the aspiring soul, The Divine Comedy is a dazzling work of sublime truth and mystical intensity.

Great Translation!
John Ciardi's translation of The Divine Comedy is fantastic! His introduction to each canto and his notes at the end of each canto are invaluable! The Divine Comedy is heavy reading, but this translation flows. I originally read a different translation which was written in prose and was rather difficult to follow, so I started from the beginning with Ciardi's translation and I am so glad that I did! I highly recommend this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
